Movie Quote(s):
  • The Boy: It's bubbly
  • [from trailer] The Man: Everything depends on reaching the coast. I told you I would do whatever it takes. Wife: Like what? Like what?
  • The Man: You look at him again, I'll shoot you in the head. The Gang Member: That boy looks hungry. Why don't ya'll come on to the truck? Get you somethin' to eat. Ain't no need to be such a hard-ass. The Man: [pauses, shakes his head] You don't have anything to eat.
  • [from trailer] The Man: [to the boy] I will kill anyone who touches you. Because that's my job.
  • [from trailer] The Boy: Are we gonna die? The Man: We are not gonna quit. We are gonna survive this.
Movie Trivia:
  • The U.S. release date was postponed from November 26, 2008, to October 16, 2009, to allow for additional post-production work. The 2009 release date was further delayed to November 25, 2009, to position the picture for Academy Awards competition.
  • Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee reported bonding by eating crickets to help them get into character.
  • Kodi Smit-McPhee won his part over hundreds of boys due to a strong audition and his resemblance to Charlize Theron, who had been cast as Woman.
  • Viggo Mortensen nearly turned down the role of Man because he had planned a break from film work. After completing his work as the Man, Mortensen took a long break from acting.
  • An apparent CGI aerial shot, which also appears in the trailer, is a digital recreation of actual destruction by Hurricane Katrina to Empire, Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. The shot shows large, twin boats on a highway in front of a bridge over the Empire Lock on Louisiana state highway 23. In the movie rendering, a large city skyline appears on the horizon, where in actuality there would be only the rural peninsula of Plaquemines Parish.
